Wow, congrats everyone!!!!! I hope we sneak into December too!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

That's not my DHL package. As of just now we're still in "final review." Not sure why my sign-in failed. Oh well. It's off to Alaska in two days!

Maybe it will be there when you get back. Out of all the places I want to visit Alaska tops the list. I've wanted to go since I was little. It just looks so pretty.

It's beautiful during a lot of the year-not spring and "break up" time (when the snow melts) though! It'll be nice and snowy when I'm up there, so I'm excited. Well, I'll be working 7 days straight up there (plus today and tomorrow-so 9 days straight!) but I love my job! I can't wait to take my hubby up there on one of my work trips. You and the Scot should get up there sometime!!!!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!).

I would love that. I want to see the glaciers and Denali park.

This is gonna be the longest night. Damn stupid swine flu. I'm on Tamiflu now but feel worse. My mother in law and David are supposed to come on the 25th and my daughter just got ill today. I'll need to disinfect like a madwoman. Riht now I could use some tlc but sadly he is asleep as it is 3:30am in Scotland. Some days I really hate this a lot more than others. I just want our life to begin.

I'm happy for all you Dec interviews. I wonder if we might sneak in or if we will be pushed off to Jan or Feb? I hate all the mystery!

Wow Diane, I hope you feel better soon. That flu is horrible!

I want to call my hubby too, but he's asleep and has to wake up in six hours. I can't disrupt his sleep...I talked to him two hours ago but I just really, really miss him...wah wah wah.

Who knows about the interviews-I don't know if I'll make Dec either!

Okay-I'll call NVC a little later.

I had the DHL tracking down finally, saw that 58 packages went out today, then tried to get back in and now I can't make it work! I'm going crazy.

Yup, 1 package weighing 23lbs (23 cases at 1lb a piece?) was sent to Manila. Hope mine was in that batch!

My new hometown - Corona, California
